Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action.

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

In Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, astronauts land on a planet orbiting close to a black hole. They spend a few hours on its surface. When they retu.

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

She laid much of the theoretical groundwork for the atomic bomb, although she did not participate directly in its production.

Discover the foundational components of an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. This video delves into the traditional atom model and reveals its inaccuracies, particularly regarding electron ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

Physicists in China have unveiled new clues to the origins of high-temperature superconductivity in an iron-based material just a single unit-cell thick. Led by Qi-Kun Xue and Lili Wang at Tsinghua ...
